our county ofncers. Among tttA
s wbo have been elected to fll tie
2 places, at the bead ofths list, msa
! ured BY the standard Of responsible
ty and importance. stands the nan
!. Of the Hon. w. @. Blaksly. who, take
tbs place OF John u. Murpl,y, Z
/ County Judge. The election ofJudg
Blskely TO this position We regard 9
. great advance step, aud we reitsl
ate 10 this regard what We frequentl
expressed during the late canvass
that he possesses just the qualities
tons to fit him fully for the lerfcs
discharge Of the duties ~ tho Office
and ws believe that this view is gu
tertained by ,be great majority G
the people Of this county. The siec
ton is over. the chips have fsllel
and all the bitterness which duriDI
such contests ~ cnded from ms"e sci
fisilness ought to be buried 10 tn
grave Of forgeifulness, and now tha
no politicsl purpose can I've suhservet
by any unjnstness or misrepresenta
ton men feel, know and admit iha
they car with confidence trnst an,
case TO the adjudication Of . cour
over which W. q. Blaksly prssides
well assured that no improper meanl
can be used 10 influence any Of BIZ
rulings, aud that his decisions will
be made without prejudice, without
fear or favor. By him. law vii, be
Administered - law and not be per.
verted or diststed from any feeling.
OF friendship or animosity. We con.
gratulate our people on the scqnisi-
ton OF an honorable, upright judge.
To gil the places Of Messrs. Hay
mOnd aud Henkls on the Board OF
Supervisors, We have J. L. Nelson
aud j. II. johnson who. with Samuel
Croxier. constitute The Board. The
public have an assurance. by reason
Of the standing OF thsse gentleman
and the. knowledge which the people
possess OF the acts OF their past lives,
and their general reputation for ~
teSrity and intelligence, that the a.
fsirs Of the count. will be conducted
honestly and with oil the economy
possible.
II would be sbsurd to expect OF this
BoarI that during the next two years
it should pay, of any of the indebted
ness OF thes.coanty, or. even rsiuce
that indsbtedness, as tho inst legrsla-
tu. Q have 6xed for the next two years.
in salaries and other unavoidable ex-
penses, draft upon the income OF
the county which exceeds it's possible
revenue. All that can be expected
OF our Supervisors 10 that they will
nse every effort to prevent an accu.
mutation Of our public indebted pess. !
We must look to Legislative action |
Tor any resl relief. We feel that orr |
present Board can he trusted to do
all 10 it's power for the relief OF tho |
people from the burdens which have
been imposed upon them by reckless
expenditure and cnlpabls misman-
sgsment. This Board begins with
lie public affairs and finances or the
county 10 q condition. which will be
'ery difficult to reduce to order bat
We believe they are the right men in
a tho right place and hope for much
,ood to result from their public ei-
orts.
The new District Attorney, Eb.
Williams, is We firn,ly Rlievs the
light man for that position. He is
10 able lawyer, familiar with county
fairs; and his we'll known choracter
or integrity insures the public Of the
aithfnl discharge Of his duties.
While the controlling power IL
nth tho Board Of Super visors in all
nancial matters, and tho duty OF
he Attorney is mainly confined to
,forming them as to the Law, yet
nth gu honest Board he can hsye
'uch inanence 10 curtailing expep-
"a, and maintaining the rights OF !,
10 people IL all public matters.
Apart from bis duties 10 fnsncirl
fairs he has almost unlimited pow a
in the matter Of criminal prosecu- Z
ons, and it 10 in this direction that q
s sound Judgment, and legal ability o
Ill be OF great service We arc Ger.
in MIR. Williams will not suffer any u
an to I've held 10 answer fer crime ].
ON captious, selfish Or other i'm u
oper motives; bat, from our %
'owledge OF the mao, we believe u
at when crime has been committed u
will spare no labor or expense to1 81
